Solitary sandpiper at Wissenkerke in May 2006
On 14-17 May 2006, a first-summer nominate Solitary Sandpiper Tringa solitaria solitaria stayed near Wissenkerke, Zeeland, the Netherlands. It was identified as the nominate subspecies mainly based on the prominent loral stripe. This is the first record for the Netherlands. In Europe, there are at least 38 records of which only very few were in spring or in the mainland.
